If you would like to spend more time in the Netherlands, we recommend the Ibis Amsterdam Airport Hotel. Airport/Hotel shuttle service is included, and rail transportation conveniently takes you directly from the Airport to the heart of Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, you can purchase a 'hop on hop off' canal boat bus pass which provides a relaxing way to access the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, pedestrian-only shopping streets, canal-side restaurants, and many other sights. You can use the rail system to visit Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, or Het Loo Palace, all within 1½ hours from the Airport. The airport is also the starting point of numerous half-day and full day guided bus tours.

Do you need more time in London or would you like to see a little more of Britain by visiting some of the easy-to-reach attractions outside of London? Image Tours will reserve an extended stay at the tour hotel. You can book your hotel-airport transfer directly through your hotel. The local buses, 'Underground', and rail system are an easy and inexpensive means to travel in and outside of London.
